Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
 Polymerization | Monomers joined together to from polymers(like pearls making a pearl necklace). |
| Amino Acids | Monomer molecule, connected using Peptide Bonds(protein), contain an Amino Group and their are 20 known in nature today. |
| Denaturation | If a shape is changed due to heat or pH(acid) levels. |
| Enzymes | Control the rates of reactions. |
| tRNA | Molecule which brings DNA's message out to the ribosome in the cytoplasm. |
| Triplet | Set of three nitrogen bases in DNA. |
| Replication | Process of making an exact copy of a molecule. |
| Antecodon | The set of three nitrogen bases in tRNA. |
| mRNA | Molecule hat carries amino acids to the ribosome for protein assembly. |
| Codon | Set of three nitrogen bases in mRNA. |
| Gene | Process in which the order of the bases in mRNA codes for the order of amino acids in a protein. |
| Exon | Segment of DNA that codes for a particular protein. |
| Promoter | Region on DNA that shows an emzyme where to bind to make mRNA. |
| Intron | Also known as intervening sequences; the sections of DNA that do code for proteins |
| Peptide Bond | A bond that joins the amino acids in a protein. |
| Transcription | Process by which enzymes make an mRNA copy of DNA's information. |
| Translation | The intervening sequences of DNA that do not code for a protein. |
| RNA Polymerase | New strands of RNA are formed when this enzyme helps to join together the free nucleotides. |
